Daniela Spoto

Hallo!
I’m Daniela Spoto, an Italian illustrator based in Germany.
I studied Painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Italy and then I moved to Berlin, where I live for six years. Once there I realized that I wanted to be an Illustrator: I started to buy tons of picture books, read illustration blogs, websites, forums from professional illustrators. I also attended some illustration workshops.

In Berlin I’ve known a lot of artists, I’ve started to exhibit my illustrations and to collaborate with Spanish and German publishers. (like Stendhal Books from Barcelona and Goldblatt Verlag from Berlin). In 2016 I moved to Dusseldorf.
I illustrate both in traditional and digital media, I choose the medium depending on what kind of project should I work on. I enjoy working on my personal projects as well as collaborating with authors and other creative people.

I think that it’s really important to have some spare time for drawing for myself. Poetry and children’s tales are what I love to illustrate the most!

Mexican studio Mantra produced this sophisticated new identity for Spasso, a local italian restaurant.

“For Spasso’s rebranding we chose fine lines and loops, representative of the 40’s typefaces and classical art in architecture, the arches and curves emblematic of domes and monuments.

These elements were balanced with inspiration in Art Decó, through an elegant and perfectionist aesthetic, luxury finishes and contrasting colors, which together reinterpret the identity of the cucina autentica.” ... See more
